I'm wondering why my door speakers seem to put out more bass than the KSC-SW11. If I swap this out with an Amp &amp; 12's, I get great bass. Weird.

Are you sure it is being powered, is your radio set to send sound to the subwoofer, and have you used the volume control to set the sound level? This however is not the kind of sub that puts out booming bass, not sure if an 8" speaker can match a 12".

It's definitely not going to take the place of 2 12" speakers. I run 4 of these speakers only powered by my kenwood 4x50w head unit. I do have an 8" infinity sub in the trunk. And it's fantastic! When the sub is turned off it's a very noticeable drop in bass. They may be better powered by a dedicated amp, i would be interested to see how that works as i've been thinking of getting another amp.

Coincidentally, my local music store had a headphone testing/"sale"(10%, covered tax lol) over the weekend. I own the anniversary ed and , although i was there to pick up my guitar cabinet, I tried out the white K702, along with other headphones. The amplifier used was a different form factor than my own(they had a solid state and i use tube), but the noticeable differences, regardless, where bass and comfort. the Annies performed better in these areas. There are claims that trebles are also improved, more clear and tight, but i would have needed to hear both headphones in the same setup to have noticed.

My experience is the opposite... too much solid, rich bass, so I keep the volume knob located on the subwoofer control panel turned down to about 15%. Surprising for such an inexpensive system. Assure your connections, assure the subwoofer volume is tuned up, try a different audio cable between your sound source and subwoofer, try a different sound source. If none of these things work, consider returning them for replacement.

I'm a big fan of subwoofers. Especially with speakers this size. There just isn't enough bass coming out of the RF-52.

I have an SVS sub paired with mine. I use them primarily for home theater, but I listen to music as well. They sound really good together. I've never really used the speakers alone. I do not think it's too much bass. If so, you could always dial down your sub a bit.

I have both and the speakers did fit. I am not crazy about the tone that they produce. More midbass than true lows

I am using a Polk Audio RM-7 "8 inch powered sub woofer. My room is only 12X15 and my wife hates it! She is not a fan of a lot of bass. But when she's not around, and I turn it up, it is more than enough. The Yamaha, it seems to me, has less bass output in its normal configuration than my old Onkyo system, but you can adjust it easier with the Yamaha. I would think any good name Sub would do fine.

i sold this sub. incredibly awesome sub. and i kinda had your problem. you have to fine tune the sub with your receiver. distance settings, double bass setting if you have it. basically have your receiver get all the bass to go to the sub and amplify the sub through the receiver as well. if your not using a receiver, then your doing it wrong bro. otherwise just mess around with the settings on BOTH sub and receiver to find the perfect sound.

12's are great. I wanted them also to get the great sound I remembered as a kid. The only difference with 15's is you get a bigger sub woofer. Which means better bass , I bought the 12's and put the cerwin vega bookshelfs with them for movies only. The 12's do the job very well and are crystal clear.

I have mine connected to a Denon X-2000 and have no issues with bass. May be the source. Did you use Audyssey? I have a sub connected as well but the speakers alone have a very nice range (highs and lows). Breakin time always helps but you should hear the bass from dual 8's. Sorry I can't help further.

i set up the "before" receiver, which was just an older onkyo 2-channel stereo receiver, and the new receiver (820). the 820 sounds good, but it doesn't sound as full, nor as deep, as the onkyo. i think it must just have internal settings that don't allow it to send those deepest bass tones to the front speakers, because i tweaked every possible thing. i appreciate the help though...and i've definitely had the wires crossed before as well -- makes a huge difference

Ive got mine hooked to a pioneer premier 12 in 2ohms and its really really loud I have to keep the subwoofer line way down. Im sure it would be similar for yours in 4ohms its a very strong amp. Works great ive had a few different kenwood amps and they always perform.

i have my four 6x9's on sepereate channels and run the rca's to the radio. sounds great. if you hear a whining sound, turn your settings on your amp down til it goes away and they will sound perfect with great bass. took me a while to find that lol, thought i crossed some wires.

Are you asking if the Rockford works better than the Kenwood? I have never owned a Kenwood product so therefore I cannot comment on the Kenwood, although i do love my rockord sub and that amp handles it well. If youre were using the sony amp with the Kenwood i believe you had an under powered amp for that woofer. I always like to have a bigger amp power output than what the speaker is rated for. A speaker can not be under powered or extremely over powered or it will fail.
